Having been following them that close but can't believe Pasarius, the S African
double amputee runner. He had both legs amputated at 11 months old. I just
can't beleive the drive and courage of a person like this. How can some overcome
odds such as this, and with a smile on their face besides? What an inspiration!

crazy stuff for sure, makes you not want to complain about the small stuff.

there was a lot of talk about this guy competing cause of his "advantages" using the blade legs.

great inspiring stuff

He didn't make the finals but great to see him make it into the semi-finals. Guts!

There were quite a few events that were won by "unknowns", and that made the events that much more enjoyable.
